CHARACTERIZATION OF AN IRON OXIDE NANOPARTICLE LABELLING AND MRI-BASED PROTOCOL FOR INDUCING HUMAN MESENCHYMAL STEM CELLS INTO NEURAL-LIKE CELLS

Characterization of an iron oxide nanoparticle labelling and MRI-based protocol for inducing human mesenchymal stem cells into neural-like cells

Abstract The aim of the current study was to develop an iron click here oxide nanoparticle (ION) labelling and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based protocol to allow visualization of the differentiation process of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) into neural-like cells (NCs) in vitro.Ferucarbotran, a clinically available ION, which can be visualized

Room-Temperature Solid-State Maser Amplifier

Masers once represented the state of the art in low-noise microwave amplification technology but eventually became obsolete due to their need for cryogenic cooling.Masers based on solid-state spin systems perform most effectively as amplifiers, since they provide a large density of spins and can, therefore, operate at relatively high powers.While s

Investigation of biophysical mechanisms in gold nanoparticle mediated laser manipulation of cells using a multimodal holographic and fluorescence imaging setup.

Laser based cell manipulation has proven to be a versatile tool in biomedical applications.In this context, combining weakly focused laser pulses and nanostructures, e.g.gold nanoparticles, promises to be useful for high throughput cell manipulation, such as transfection and photothermal therapy.Interactions between laser pulses and gold nanopartic
